• About the park

  Horseshoe Bay Park is a scenic one-hectare on the western tip of West Vancouver and at the entrance to Howe Sound.

  The park is bordered by Sewell's Marina and the public pier to the north, the community of Horseshoe Bay to the south and west, and the BC Ferries terminal to the east.

  A high number of tourists and ferry users come through the park in the summer; local residents use it year-round.

  The existing park has gone through several piecemeal upgrades over the years and currently consists of:

  • washroom building
  • playground
  • a small water play area
  • plaza area with decorative fountain
  • walking paths
  • boat ramp
  • seating areas
  • pier with short-term boat moorage
  • Metro Vancouver sewer lift station

• Advisory Group

  The Horseshoe Bay Park Advisory Group was created in June 2017 after a public call for volunteers was advertised seeking three to five members with a diverse range of ages, backgrounds and interests.

  The objective of creating the Advisory Group was to tap into the expertise of residents who would like to volunteer to serve on an Advisory Group which will assist District staff with the public engagement and design of the new park.

  Meetings were held during the last six months of 2017.
